Boot Screen Image and menu simulator?

Is there a way to simulate what the boot screen with the selection of possible added or changed entries from boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg will look like?

E.g. :

● is an entry line too long that important info is cut off?
I mean this line

Code: Select all

MENU LABEL 

● Does a changed background image look okay with the chosen text colours or is the text partly hard to read?


It would be swell if there was a way other than actually rebooting for reviewing how a change in porteus.cfg will look like in the boot screen.

a lazy web search suggests: no. but you can simulate the machine and reboot that. ie. use virtualbox
